nrrrycE BEFORE DEFIANCE.

The reflections which grow naturally out Vi
tbe recent debate in the Senate on inc Hu-
munds Fisheries bill arc well calculated 10 sum
r,,tc Congress to action on the great question
~ National defence lhc supineness when
hitherto has bafIlcd all attempts to secure the
nrotection Of our coasts and sea-board cities
ouplt 10 Weld to the demonstration herein
made The staple excuse for inactivity has
been that there was no danger OF qiarfc WIN
nny Power. The deba'e in the Senate must
nave convinced thinking men that however ne
mote such contingency may he, the pos'ibll-
;tv of q course Of mutual injuries bctwccL the
United States and Cana la must he recognized }
and il is not less apparent that such acts mus
he cumulative in their effect, each step render
ing the return to amity harder and materially
shortening the space that separates the coun-
tries from actual bclligcrcncy. The initial
movement entered upon, it is plain that the
outcome cannot be determined. Ihcnccforth
the drift must lie in ono dircgaon however,
and that not the direction Of peace. The posi-
ton o, tho United States may be entirely
justifablc and right, but OF what force will
recttude be without the strong arm 10 back i
Unfortunately our defenccessncss is not our
own secret. All The world knows it. All the
world knows. too, that in the ultimate analysis
it is not Canaia we should have 10 settle with,
but Great Britain. and that In the event OF war
her strongest point would be brought to bear
upon our weakest one. A country which has
| an exposed sca-board may 10 as strong As it is
possible to conceive in the patriotism, wealth
and energy Of its people, but it will mono the
less be helpless if suddenly involved in quar-
! rel with great naval power. Canada no doubt
is comparatively feeble and vulnerable. But
Canada is poor. She has no spoils to tempt or
to repay invasion. And it is idle for us to talk
OF an aggressive policy SO long as an encmy's
ships can laugh at our coast and harbor defcncce
from one end of the country to the other. The
plain truth Is, that we cannot back ND bold
words. uttered in no matter how righteous a
cause. We arc made to stand Inundated before
those who bear us no special good viii. II is
in the power of our weakest neighbo.s to insult
and treat us with contumely. for VIC have no

Atlanta They are faster cruisers without
doult and they ought to be, for in their con-
,.,,,ct;on double bottoms and sail power were

credited is nominal, having been attained only
oncc and then after rcpcaled trials over the
r,c.su,cd mile. The Atlanta is n faster ship
,ban il was designed to lie. 1t was not intend
od exclusively as "A marine engine. 1t is ship
with q double bottom and two-,hirts OF full
call power. and was designed to meet other re-
mircments than that of speed. The Secretary
method of comparison is essentially dishonest.
The grave error in the Secrctarys report, by
which an actual deficiency in designed horse
mower is converted into an artificial excess, may
have been inadvertently committed; but there
bas bccn from first to last considerable hocus-
nocus under This head. The official theory has
been that horse power was more important than
spccd. When Commander Belknap reported
an excess of speed and mcagre deficiency OF
GO il, the designed horse power, the Dolphin
was rejected. When the contracts were male
for the new cruisers, the horse power was
scaled down to the lowest point. The Eng
fish plans for the Baltimore called for 1880
indicated horse power Int the ship will not he
rejected unless the horse power falls below
5000 The same Secretary who considered a
deficiency Of GO fatal in the case of the Dolphin
allows his own contractor wide margin Of
$50 below the designed horse power. II the
nor.e power developed exceeds 5000 the con-
actor is TO receive large premiums, and the
Department will claim the credit Of obtaining
more horse power than was contracted for, the
dcigncd no. Sc power being conveniently for
,ottcn. This will lie the same species of il
usory gain figured out a.uicially for the Eng
lish cruisers
